Monthly limits from use in October 2026
Fees for temporary childcare, sick-child care, and the Family Support Center are covered by the free program if you have "certification of need for childcare" (new type 2 or new type 3). The limits for use up to September 2026 are ¥37,000 per month for 3- to 5-year-old classes and ¥42,000 per month for 0- to 2-year-old classes in households exempt from resident tax. Because the national limits were raised, from use in October they become ¥40,300 and ¥45,700 per month. Temporary childcare at Kosodate Koryu Salon and Yui no Mori Arakawa is not covered.

How much of the fee is covered each month?
Nationality and residence status
The official page (checked in October 2026) sets no condition on nationality or residence status that we found. Eligibility follows the official conditions, not the language of this page; many programs require resident registration in the municipality.
Who is eligible
Children in 3- to 5-year-old classes with new type 2 or 3 certification, and children in 0- to 2-year-old classes in households exempt from resident tax
Notes
The limits are the national facility use fee limits. From use in October 2026 they rose to ¥40,300 for ages 3-5 and ¥45,700 for tax-exempt ages 0-2 (Children and Families Agency, "Main contents of the childcare-related budget proposal": https://www.cfa.go.jp/assets/contents/node/basic_page/field_ref_resources/214cacce-0305-4ce9-a120-355df90cf035/176a74aa/20260123_policies_hoiku_yosan_26.pdf ).
It is the same framework as program category F of the Daycare Fee Subsidy for Unlicensed Childcare Facilities, etc., with the same application counter and deadlines.
